Commander Installation Guide 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 INTRODUCTION Follow the sequence below, step by step, to install the Commander matrix. • Unpack the matrix • Fit the matrix frame and power supplies into the equipment bay • Load the modules into the matrix frame, in sequence • Apply power to the system and check basic operation. • Connect control panels and check operation with the supplied flash ram configuration. • Set up the configuration PC. 2.
Commander Installation Guide 2.4 SYSTEM ASSEMBLY If the system is multi-frame (i.e. > 96 ports), it will be supplied with frame 1 at the bottom and frames 2,3,4 etc. ascending from there. Some earlier systems were supplied with the frames configured in descending order. The system modules will normally be packed separately for transit. Carefully remove all of the packing materials taking care to leave the modules in their anti-static protection for as long as possible.
Commander Installation Guide 2.4.1 500-08 SERIES CHANGEOVER CARD The 500-08 Changeover Card is fitted at the left of each frame. Make sure the metal tab is hooked into the clip on the side cheek. Ensure the top and bottom edge connectors are both making good contact. The current version of this card is: • 500-08-10 dual changeover for fault tolerant systems. There are no LEDs or other external indicators on these boards. NOTE: For non fault tolerant systems (i.e.
Commander Installation Guide 2.4.2 500-02 SERIES TALKBACK CONTROLLER CARD There are currently two versions of the Talkback Controller: -. • 500-02-11, which has on-board Flash Ram fitted at all times • 500-02-12, which updates the 500-02-11 and provides improved serial communication. They are fitted to the 500-08 (above). Initially, only fit the lower 500-02 Talkback Controller. The upper card is used for fault tolerant (redundant) operation if this option has been ordered.
Commander Installation Guide 2.4.3 500-01 SERIES TDM CONTROLLER CARD The current version of the TDM card is: • 500-01-10 which replaces the 500-01-00. The main TDM controller is fitted in the left side of the frame, immediately to the right of the 500-08 / 500-02 combination. The standby controller is only applicable in fault tolerant systems when the appropriate modules have been purchased. Do not fit the standby controllers at this stage.
Commander Installation Guide 2.4.4 500-25-00 E1 NETWORK LINK CARD This optional card has a number of front mounted LEDs and a D9 programming socket. The system will normally be assembled by Trilogy with the appropriate rear connector units (RCU). Check the rear of the frame for the Network RCU (500-26-00) which is fitted with two RJ45 connectors and a single BNC. Fit any Network cards in the correct places. • Inter-system connections are described in Section 4.1..
Commander Installation Guide 2.4.6 500-06 SERIES MATRIX CARDS Finally, fit these in the remaining positions. Depending on the system order, the quantities of matrix cards and RCU’s may not match exactly. The current version is part no. 500-06-02; legacy versions are covered in section 8.1. The following diagram shows the location of these modules within the frame.
Commander Installation Guide 2.5 MAINS CONNECTION AND FUSING 2.5.1 500-15-30 SERIES POWER SUPPLY The PSU chassis occupies an additional 2U of rack space below the matrix and is internally wired. The complete assembly therefore occupies 8U for a 96 port system, 14U for a 192 port system etc. The PSU is half rack width allowing two PSU modules to be fitted, thus providing backup operation. Each power supply is fitted with a D9 socket, which provides a relay contact indicating the PSU status.
Commander Installation Guide 2.6 STARTING THE SYSTEM The system may now be powered and will load a configuration from the Flash RAM. The miniature rotary switch on the front edge of the 500-02 Talkback Controller selects the boot configuration bank. In a multi-frame system, this is the 500-02 Talkback Controller in Frame 1 of the matrix. It is not necessary to have the computer operating at this stage. A few hints: • Initially, do not fit the redundant (standby) controller modules.
Commander Installation Guide If this phase is successful and the TDM controller is running correctly, switch off the system. Turn the flash bank selector switch to an active bank (i.e 1,2,3 or 4) and re-start the system. The yellow polling LED on the 500-02 Talkback Controller will start to flash, indicating that a configuration has been loaded from the Flash RAM and is active on the system. Finally, the standby Talkback and TDM controllers may be added.
Commander Installation Guide 3. CONNECTING TO THE MATRIX 3.1 CONNECTING THE MATRIX PORTS The following drawing shows the rear view of a fully equipped 6U rack. Connectors are provided for the P.C., status alarms, panels and externals. These connectors are wired as detailed below. Connector types and pinouts for the Commander rack connectors are given. The numbering of port outputs is indicated on the connector plate on the right hand side of the rear of the rack.
Commander Installation Guide 3.2.2 CONNECTION VIA A 500-16-03 DOWNLOAD CONVERTER BOX A single frame (96 port) Commander system has two interfaces which may be used for downloading configuration data: • Serial port (RS232/422) • High speed (20MB/s) transputer port With a standalone system, the RS232 connection is sufficient (see 3.2.1). In a multi-system environment, this serial port is required to pass networking information, and can no longer be used for configuration data. See section 4.2.
Commander Installation Guide 3.3 INSTALLING PATHFINDER PathFinder is the configuration editor for the Trilogy Commander intercom system. Details of PC specification and operating system requirements are given in Section 9.6. Software is supplied on CD-ROM. For a new installation, insert the disk in the PC CD drive. From the Windows start menu, click Run, then type x:PathFinder 4_nn\Disk1\setup.exe where x is the CD drive letter and nn is the version sub-code (e.g. 21).
Commander Installation Guide Make any changes as required. Ensure that there are no system conflicts with other PC hardware by using the Windows Device Manager. Conflicts with other hardware such as sound cards and network cards may prevent the download adaptor from functioning correctly.. Any changes within PathFinder must be matched by changes to the adapter card itself. Now select the final tab of this form, labelled “Remote Systems”. On installation, only one system is displayed, as shown below.
Commander Installation Guide 3.4 OTHER MATRIX CONNECTIONS A number of other connections are provided on the rear of the matrix.

Jumper J7 should be set to N for normal operation or to C to increase the gain of port 6 by +25dB. If 500-06-02 cards are used in the same matrix as the older 500-06-00 cards, they must be set to emulate the 500-06-00 cards. Fit links J8 and J9 in position B. The diagram below shows the position of on board links.
Commander Installation Guide 4. NETWORKING 4.1 CONNECTING NETWORKED SYSTEMS The optional Network hardware comprises two components: • 500-25 Network Card • 500-26 Network Rear Connector Unit (RCU) The RCU provides the interface to other networked Commander systems. Note that: • Interconnection can be made by coax (BNC) or CAT5 (RJ45). It is not possible to “mix” the interconnection methods. Having chosen the means of connection, do not fit any other connectors.
Commander Installation Guide Either Using two 50R co-axial cables via the BNC connectors. Or Connect a single CAT5 cable (noncrossover) between two RJ45 sockets. A simple 3 matrix LAN is shown below. The MCR matrix is fitted with two Network Cards. Routes from Studio A to Studio B are made via the matrix in MCR. For clarity, only the RJ45 connections are shown.
Commander Installation Guide 4.2 SERIAL NETWORKING Matrices may also be interconnected using a serial communication port (com port) plus a number of audio tie lines (4-wires). Since a 96 port Commander Matrix has only one com port, if it utilised for networking, then the PathFinder download must be accomplished via the high speed (20MB/s) port. This will require an additional 500-16-03 Download Converter, as explained in section 3.2.2.
